i tried to watch this in maybe 8th or 9th grade, and totally didn’t get it or enjoy it. decided i needed to rewatch it after getting in an argument about whether or not it inspired part of the famous aha video (it did). it’s still an insane and trippy movie, but i enjoyed it, and admired the effects which were pretty impressive (in some ways) for their time period.

she made all the weird things that happened to her seem totally feasible. i enjoyed her writing style, and learned a lot about down’s.

my whole family is totally obsessed with this show and now i know why. holy crap, it’s hilarious!

just a cute, light, entertaining movie. not as good as the book, but what ever is?

really cute and fun. a little on the cheezy side, and seuss said he wished there had been more scenes of him actually saving the day, but overall, entertaining and smile-making.

so very “meh.”

i found myself hurrying through the never-ending family history bits to get to the part where she finally finds out her parts aren’t quite right. lame, but true. it was taking TOO long to get to the point, and then i never got to find out if he had a normal relationship with julie kikuchi.

my favorite edward gorey cover art anthology so far. this one, weirdly, not compiled by marvin kaye, as all the others i own are.

the most delicious microwave mac n’cheese ever. even without real cheese! the sauce was creamy and gooey and the elbows weren’t all squishy like other microwave noodles.

i feel like i would have rather read all the fictional novels (about the adventures of the main character’s family) mentioned in this novel than the novel itself. it was really weird, and had no satisfying resolution.
